SNOW DAY!
Holy shit. What the hell am I doing up at this hour without aid of an alarm or barking dog? Well, it's not so much THIS hour as much as I got up just after noon, and have been up since.
I made some soup (I've had this same sore throat, sniffles, etc for a week or so now) and for the first time in a while, coffee; went upstairs, ate, took a provigil (planning to stay awake the whole day) and I am WIRED! No complaints. I have Fallout to occupy myself with.
I MUST say though: I love snow. More importantly I love having a medium sized black dog when it snows. I let Chaos out about 45 minutes ago, after I'd eaten and the caffeine and provigil started working in my system, and the... "conversation" that took place was fucking hysterical.
It's not just me. Anyone who's been around that sinister hound knows that he's remarkably communicative.
So I open up the back door, and PUSH the storm door open, shoving snow aside so that the mutt can go out, and he takes one look outside, and looks up at me and says with an unhappy expression "Human, you've got to be fucking kidding me."
I look outside and down to him and say "Good luck out there furball."
He... jumps out into the snow, and continues to leap from spot to spot, literally ass-deep in snow, and it was the fucking funniest thing I've seen in days! He jumped about and popped a squat and I said to him through the window "Dude! Your ass isn't high enough out of the snow to not shit on yourself while you do that!" So he kicks out the snow behind him, drops a deuce, and I'm ready to let him in (amidst the tears forming in my eyes from laughing) and NO! He leaps and bounds to the fence and proceeds to piss on a tree and... my god, I almost lost my shit right there.
Oh, I know that you TOTALLY had to be there to see it, but it was funny as hell for me to watch.
The stimulants might have helped too.
So I ordered my Netbook, for those of you I haven't told yet. I'm DYING for that sexy machine to arrive in the mail. The earliest delivery date is the 5th. I'm expecting it Friday or Saturday. I ordered the "copper" Acer. I'm thinking about naming it the same way I've named my PC and PS3. Nyarlathotep, and Black Jenkin, both either Lovecraft or Lovecraft related names.
Nyarlathotep is like... the human representative for the dark god frozen in the center of the universe that represents the ultimate evil and insanity. Black Jenkin is a color change from Brown Jenkin, which was the witch's rat-familiar in Dreams in the Witch House.
I'm thinking, since it's pocket sized and will be assisting me, that I'll name it Bronze Jenkin. I'm thinking it over still. It might not work when I finally have it in my hands. I suppose we'll see. I just know it'll be a whole day dedicated to moving files onto it when it finally arrives.
Oh! I saved a chunk of money ordering it from Best Buy too! Mom and Keith both bought me Fallout for Christmas (I think I've mentioned that before) so I returned mom's copy, since she gave me the receipt, and used the $60+ to cover a portion of the purchase. It kept it at about (including sales tax, since it's all being shipped in NY, and shipping) $280ish, so I totally can't complain. I mean shit, this little thing that isn't even a foot long is more powerful than the last computer I bought at around $1000! Considering it'll promote my writing (I always feel the most inspired when I'm out at the mall, or some such thing) and my ability to fact-check stupid things that come out of people's mouths, as well as providing a new daily planner, I'm expecting it to be WELL worth the price. All I need is some nifty cushioned container for it that isn't too bulky so I can still keep it in my cargo pants.
I can also see a future where Kit and I take my netbook, some pencils and paper, and go out on some adventure to sit on a bench either in the mall, or at a park and just do creative stuff for a day. I won't lie: the notion sounds like unreasonable fun to me.
Now. I'm gonna go kill me some post-nuclear-apocalypse... things.
